Don't know about 2024, but my 2023 Honda Civic EX-B (Canadian market) is actually pretty old school. Yes, it has the keyless unlock and even a remote engine start button on the keyfob (can be disabled, thankfully - car is parked inside and we have kids!) But no cellular connectivity, no wifi, and all the touchscreen stuff is "extra icing" - all the controls you need are there in physical form except for some radio and cell phone call functions. Yes, the car may be vulnerable to signal boost kind of attacks (to pretend the keyfob is nearby when it's not) and possibly the "pop off a headlight and get into the CANbus" attack. But no cloud dependency and no way for the cloud to reach in and mess things up. Also, the software it does have seems "debugged" based on a year of using it.

- MarkusWandel 2y agoGlad to say it doesn't. Only the top-of-the-line "Touring" model is shown as compatible with HondaLink.
